[quote=Anonymous]They're adding CogAT back in, now that it is once more being administered. It has been seen as a better indicator of GT ability/need than those measures they had in the interim where they paused administering it, beginning with the pandemic and through recovery. They institute a sliding-scale heuristic. If CogAT is high enough (90th+ %ile), the GT designation applies. If tested at 85th to 89th %ile, then high scores on academic testing measures can lead to GT designation, with fewer of those scores being needed if a teacher, administrator or parent survey provides an additional indication. That's for grades 2 & 3. For grades 5 and 7 where CogAT has not been administered, they revert to the more recent non-CogAT paradigm of meeting 4/4 academic testing measures, with the leniency of qualifying under either spring or fall MAP, or 3 of 4 with the teacher/administrator/parent indication.[/quote]
